The streams of sounds we typically attend to abound in acoustic regularities. Neural
entrainment is seen as an important mechanism that the listening brain exploits to attune to …

Cognitive neuroscience, in particular research on speech and language, has seen an
increase in the use of linear modeling techniques for studying the processing of natural …

Understanding how brains process sensory signals in natural environments is one of the key
goals of twenty-first century neuroscience. While brain imaging and invasive …

During speech perception, a central task of the auditory cortex is to analyze complex
acoustic patterns to allow detection of the words that encode a linguistic message [1]. It is …

When listening to speech, our brain responses time lock to acoustic events in the stimulus.
Recent studies have also reported that cortical responses track linguistic representations of …

The ability to focus on and understand one talker in a noisy social environment is a critical
social-cognitive capacity, whose underlying neuronal mechanisms are unclear. We …

How the human auditory system extracts perceptually relevant acoustic features of speech is
unknown. To address this question, we used intracranial recordings from nonprimary …

The cortical representation of the acoustic features of continuous speech is the foundation of
speech perception. In this study, noninvasive magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings …

Speech recognition is remarkably robust to the listening background, even when the energy
of background sounds strongly overlaps with that of speech. How the brain transforms the …

Speech processing in the human brain is grounded in non-specific auditory processing in
the general mammalian brain, but relies on human-specific adaptations for processing …
